***** I loved it!
"The price of innocence is what someone is willing to pay to destroy it"
Lord Jack Pen Martyn is an english earl who works for the Foreign Office since he was only seventeen years old.
Nine years ago, as he was mascarading as a irish pirate in Asia getting information for his country, he met Sherehezade Van Harlen, an american prisoner in a cage waiting to be taken to a harem. Jack makes a deal with her: she would be free in a month if she gave him her innocence. She accepted, and more than a month after that she returned home with a broken heart and pregnant. She had to face her problems, marry somebody to give her baby and manage her father's legacy.
Rich american heiress Sherri Hamilton, widow of Jeremiah Hamilton, is in London with her daughter Minnie and her aunt Dora Comstock who wishes to see her daughters married to men of titles.
When Sherri is introduced to Lord Penmartyn she doesn't quite recognize him as her former lover and keeper. He, on the other hand, is spellbound and stopped breathing thinking that his Sheherezade was going to faint or shout. She sensed something dangerous in him, and some similarity to Cullum, her irish pirate, but he speaks quite differently and has no beard.
Jack is a respectable and generous lord, loved and admired by everyone and Sherri cannot understand how he became an earl. She hates him and she is the only woman he ever loved. But he is not enough for her. He feels he doesn't deserve her. She will prove him wrong.
There are lovely romantic love scenes. I enjoyed this book very much.
